Does anyone have any experience with these gi? I am looking for something that is sold and shipped from inside the u.s. Not willing to pay over $100 with shipping. I will order a couple gi from goodskarate in Pakistan when I can do a big order, but I need something for now.

These from e-bogu seem well-priced. I have a Gi from Kyokushin Warrior that is 14oz top and bottom.... It's just just too stiff. I am now looking for a good 12oz. These mention that they are made for full contact and have the extra room and paying.

These first two below, are they durable?

The one with the moisture-whicking layer, HIDRITEX, seems interesting. I am curious if it feels like a heavyweight(12oz). Also, any experience with "Zen cotton pants"


FC 2000
12oz chitin jacket and "100% Zen cotton pants".


BUTOKU HIDRITEX
100% traditional cotton


They also have this one below, but it says it's lightweight, so I probably won't be happy with that.

MFC12
#11 hanpu cotton jacket and Zen cotton pants



Thanks,

Osu!

As I've stated elsewhere, my aikido, iaido and kendo gis all came from E-Bogu, and I've been satisfied with each. I've never liked the cut of Century's karate gi (I've had different ones.)

My two current uniforms came from Meijin. I have a Meijin Tropical (medium weight) and a Meijin Champion (heavy weight.) Both are outstanding in quality, features and cut in my opinion.
